Meditation is a tool, a method. Actually, there are many meditations, yogas, breathing exercises, etc. one can do, with different goals and purposes. Unfortunately, most of it is very unscientific and based on intuition and hope. Each path is heavily influenced by their leaders, followers and practices. So any advice, is very hard to quantify the usefulness of for each single person. We're all different, at different places, needs and responses. Some may respond very well to karma yoga, mature and grow alot on that, because that's what they need at that moment. For others, the same can be even detrimental, because they need something else at that time, or they misunderstand the concepts, ie. not ready for that service. I do believe much of it, especially when you find a path you respond well to, can bring alot of freshness, insight, broaden perspectives and make you realize alot, both in thinking and in actions, bringing freedom in ways your upbringing could never provide. However, there are also dangers: of losing oneself, of misunderstanding, of becoming a zealot, going solo regardless of others and reality, or being abused or scammed. So like in trading having a sense of grounded balance and retaining good (not common) sense seems sensible. Every individual path is individual though, even following some brand of spirituality for a while, we always move on.. So though there's a big wealth in such practices, all over the world, we take it with us to new places and endeavours, in new and different ways, evolving. People would be surprised how much of new insights, new ideas and trends in all levels of society really come from such groups of seeking.
Might for people which they always trained meditation will more health and calm in daily life, might it will help in trading which also need patience and cool minds to analyze the market
I've never actually tried it. It has never even occurred to me to try that. Now that you mention it, it's actually not a bad idea.
Might rarely any trader they trained meditation for trading purposes, but lesson in meditation might can implemented on trading about patience and cool minds in relax of soul
One of the advantages of getting old is that one has probably had many experiences during one's long life. One can get a rest from trading if it is needed by reliving in one's mind that experience one had years before. The more one practices the more the memories of people and places will flood back. Enjoy.
oh man, my liver is shot from a lifetime of trying to forget. Now you want me to remember? I have a 5 gallon bucket with some water and some duckweed out back. I went out the other day and when I looked at it it brought back the very pleasant memories of late July, no school, no parents, just looking at stuff like water and whatever is growing in it. Cool if you can freeze time. But if I let time continue it always takes me through that vortex of pain I had to go through to get here. And I'd just as soon forget all that. I need a skip function.
Forget the bad stuff and relax and enjoy the good ? It was the bad stuff that made you tough though wasn't it ?
time, linear progression, the only way out is breaking the bonds of time? Pleasant memories re lived always lead to the bad days and all I can do is shake it off and say oh well I had to go through that to get here. It's more trouble than it's worth. Sometimes though, I can reconnect to that feeling and awarness I had before it went bad, but hard to isolate just those good times without it flowing in time.
